I don't know how to keep a good thing
I've lost it all before
Had a sweet girl back a while
I walked right through her door
Out of town, out of state
Out of all she could see through
Don't think I'll ever find love again
But I know how to lose you
Down the hall, she turns off the lights
I've left before the dawn
No words said, not one tear shed
But for a while, you're gone
Then I'm neatly dressed in my emptiness
Out on the bright avenue
Don't think I'll ever find love again
But I know how to lose you
You know the story, still I hope for myself
Like a man who plays the lottery
Expecting great wealth
No regard for his mental state
His emotions or his health
Like this was all happening
To some other version of himself
ย
People see me on the street
They don't recall your name
It's like they never seen us before
How well I hide the pain
And tip my hat and crack a grin
And remark on a sky so blue
Don't think I'll ever find love again
But I know how to lose you
Don't think I'll ever find love again
But I know how to lose you
